I think you're doing the right thing, keep doing those studies! they remind me alot of my own sketches a few years ago (not that i'm very advanced now)

are you drawing from life as well? if not, you should! talking from my own experience, it's a very good way to learn about all the things that builds a picture. general understaing of light, perspective, proportion, values etc

I have been trying to learn form the past few days now to get rid of the flat look in my drawings. When I looked at my bot drawing posted above, I can now see the flatness in it. Not only am I seeing slight improvements in my form, but I am starting to see my lines beginning to loosen up and having some control. I am going to walk through Scott robertson's gnomon perspective and form dvd tonight.

I felt the same thing!
These look very similar to my old studies, if I look 8 years back.
Phew, 8 years.. I'm an old fart.
